What are some commonly thought vegetarian foods?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hi, good question, there are actually a lot of hidden animal ingredients you need to look out for.

Rennet comes from an animal and is often found in cheese, so try to read cheese labels carefully.

Gelatin is in a lot of deserts, and again is not vegetarian.

McDonald's french fries use real meat flavorings.

Some candy bars such as Mars use animal products.

Gelatin can be found in yogurt so look out for that.

you can find some vegan recipes in the following link

geletin and cheese (im a vegetarian but istill eat chesse)

Spaggetti B
Rice and peas + salad
Just a feww

1. Many, many soups, especially in restaurants, are made with chicken stock, beef stock, or fish stock. And you'll find ham stock in most split pea soups. Even Campbell's Vegatable soup isn't so mmm-mmm-chicken-friendly; look for their Vegetarian Vegetable instead.

French onion soup is one that seems so obvious now, but when we were fresh new vegetarians, my wife and I most definitely chowed down on some. Thankfully, 1000 Vegan Recipes (affiliate link) has a good animal-free version of this classic.

2. Lots of restaurant salad dressings (often the best tasting ones, sad to say) start with bacon fat, even when the menu doesn't mention bacon. Caesar dressing, of course, contains anchovies, if you're being served the real thing (but here's a vegan one from Post-Punk Kitchen).

There are going to be times when you eat out and salad is the only decent vegetarian choice for lunch or even dinner. Just make sure it actually is vegetarian.

3. Not all cheese is vegetarian. I was traumatized to learn that Parmigiano-Reggiano, the nuttiest, most flavorful, most classic cheese in the world (in my opinion, anyway) is made with rennet. And rennet, for the unenlightened, is a nice way of saying "enzymes from animals' stomachs." And guess how they get those enzymes out?

Parmigiano-Reggiano is actually required by law to be made with rennet, and you'll find rennet in many other authentic imported cheeses (Pecorino Romano is another one). While some domestic cheeses list rennet as an ingredient, others simply say "enzymes," leaving the buyer unsure whether or not any stomachs are being ripped open to get those goodies.

Your best bet, if you're unsure, is to choose "vegan parmesan," a combination of nutritional yeast and, sometimes, nuts that actually does a pretty good job of pretending.

4. Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies. Annie's Naturals makes a vegan Worcestershire sauce that tastes exactly the same, and in most vegetarian recipes you can probably substitute soy sauce and some spices.

5. Tortillas! Fortunately, many brands have removed the animal fat from their tortillas, but it's still worth a check. And if you're eating out at a Mexican restaurant, it's probably more likely that the tortillas are made with lard.

Now, if you're talking really classy Mexican restaurants, rest assured that Taco Bell's tortillas (andrefried beans, another seemingly-vegetarian food to look out for) do NOT contain lard, according to Vegetarian-Restaurants.net. Neither does anything at Baja Fresh, but I can't tell for sure about Chipotle. Proceed con cuidado.

6. Sorry, vegetarian marathoners—those gummy bears the nice people hand out at mile 20 are not for you. Most likely, they contain gelatin, which comes from animal bones, connective tissue, and organs. Sweet.

According to Wikipedia, some gummy bears are made with pectin or starch instead of gelatin, so these are veggie-friendly.

Of course, a no-gelatin rule means you also need to look at the ingredient lists of any gummy sports chews that you eat. Sharkies and Clif Shot Bloks are both gelatin-free. I'm not sure about GU Chomps.

7. Lots more gelatin here. Since most No Meat Athlete readers probably don't eat much of the sugary stuff, I've grouped these sweets together. For marshmallows, jelly, and Jello-type desserts, your best bet is to check the ingredient list. Most of them, unfortunately, do contain gelatin.

So at your next all-night rager, skip the Jello shots and drink a beer. Err, wait a minute…

8 was beer but, since you are 13 it doesn't apply :>
